Chapter 205


Taking the microphone from the host after her performance, Arabella casually said, “I wrote the song


last year for the earthquake survivors, so I can play


it without the score.”


Talking about proof!


Attlee and Olga in the audience were gobsmacked, finding it hard to believe that this chick who just


nailed the piano performance used to be their daughter.


Wasn’t she supposed to be all thumbs? And always ice–cold? How could she play the piano? And such


a difficult piece at that.


Rumor had it that someone once offered a fortune to Maestro Melody to compose a piece but was


turned down. Who would’ve thought that the one who snubbed them was none other than Arabella.


Serena was also taken aback that Arabella was Maestro Melody. Her performance just now clearly put


her head and shoulders above everyone else! And to think she had been showing off right in front of


her! How embarrassing was that?!


Yolanda, totally floored but refusing to admit it, retorted, “No way! President Jasmine said that this song


is already in the textbooks. You must have gotten a sneak peek at the sheet music to embarrass me,


and learned it by heart!” There was no way she could’ve played it so smoothly!


She was only able to learn the piano by mooching off the Murphy family’s wealth after taking over her


position as their daughter. Nothing to brag about! After hearing Arabella’s performance, Frida was


shell–shocked. She had just publicly played the climax of Maestro Melody’s piece. What if Maestro


Melody thought she sucked?


Seeing Yolanda still in denial, Jasmine’s got her blood boiling, “So if you insist that you single–handedly


composed ‘Misery, and since you were able to create such a beautiful climax. Do you dare to have a


showdown here with Maestro Melody?”


A showdown??


“You and Maestro Melody will each have ten minutes to improvise. If you really have talent and your


improvisation can surpass Maestro Melody’s, then we will recognize your ability!” With that, Jasmine


gave her a cold stare, “The ball is in your court!”


From the side, Arabella chimed in, “We don’t need ten minutes.”


She sat at the piano and casually played a melody. Without any preparation or thoughtful


consideration, her music was still pleasing to the ears. After playing a light and joyful tune, Arabella


switched to a majestic melody which clearly conveyed anger. This was followed by a sad melody, and


ended with a cheerful tune that lifted everyone’s spirits.


She used her music to express “joy,” “anger, “sorrow,” and “happiness.” The audience erupted into


thunderous applause. Her technique, her ability to improvise, the style and level of her melodies, all


proved she was Melody!!!


The applause was deafening and seemed to last forever. Even Kenneth and Louisa were clapping like


crazy. They never expected their little girl to be such a whiz at the piano. She rocked!


Yolanda’s face was a blend of shock and shame.


Arabella’s piano skills were not only superior to hers, but also far surpassed everyone present! She


really was Melody!
